Plains, PA – February, 3 2011 – Local candy maker Jon L. Stopay Candies recently expanded their business by creating an online store to meet the demand for online and convenience ordering. By expanding their business on the internet, Jon L. Stopay Candies hopes to reconnect with long time customers who have moved away from the area and still crave the famous Peanut Butter Chiffon®, Peanut Butter Eggs and their other hand-made delights and confections.

The inspiration for the business started in 1946 by Papa Jon L. Stopay, who created a recipe for a scrumptious confection consisting of a melt-in-your-mouth peanut butter center covered in rich milk chocolate. News of this delectable candy spread quickly throughout the area, which led Papa Jon to open his first candy store in Edwardsville, PA. Over time, the business grew in popularity and expanded into a larger store and showroom in Plains. A tradition for generations, candy lover’s young and old continue to visit the showroom in Plains to purchase their favorite treats and delights.

Since opening in December of 2010, the online store has noticed positive results throughout the holiday season and anticipates continued growth through the Valentine’s Day and Easter holidays. Business owners Jon and Mary Ann Stopay feel that the online store will help spread the word about their candies to areas outside of Northeastern Pennsylvania. In addition, the owners hope to give former customers that are no longer in the area a chance to purchase their favorite treats and confections in a safe, secure and trouble-free manner.

A staple in Northeastern Pennsylvania heritage, Jon L. Stopay Candies have become a hometown favorite featuring the world-renowned Peanut Butter Chiffon®. A handcrafted and delicately packed explosion of rich, creamy peanut butter tucked inside a tantalizing chocolate shell, the Peanut Butter Chiffon® is available in milk, dark or assorted (dark & milk) chocolate varieties. Made of the finest quality ingredients, the Jon L. Stopay Peanut Butter Chiffon® and other chocolate indulgences are the perfect treats for any occasion.

About Me

Back in 1946, Jon L. Stopay started making a scrumptious confection consisting of a delectable peanut butter center covered in rich chocolate. News of these candies spread and he soon had buyers from all over Pennsylvania. He first opened a small store and later realized his dream by opening a larger store with his wife, Eva, in 1972. With the Peanut Butter Chiffon as their signature candy, over the years they added many other delicious selections to please all candy lovers.
Jon L. Stopay Candies is still run by our family. After more than 50 years, our candy receives the same care and attention to quality that Papa Jon used in 1946. We still use only the finest quality of ingredients; fresh fruits and nutmeats enrobed in the highest grades of rich chocolate name only a small portion of the large selection that we use.
Till this day, our candy is cooked daily in small batches and hand packed so that every piece looks as good as it tastes, just like Papa Jon did way back when. Some people may think our process is a lot of trouble, but it's the best way we know to guarantee you the same old-fashioned goodness that's made our candy a favorite treat since 1946.
